flickrSlidr

I’ve been looking for a way to get my flickr in my blog. I wanted some kind of slide show, so I Googled around and found the Ultimate Photo Widget. I tried to make a page just for flickr, and tried to get the slide show in the main area by copying and pasting code, but it didn’t quite work out. I was just going to use the widget in the sidebar and leave it that way, but then this morning I heard about flickrSlidr. It looked like a no-brainer. And it was.

I already had my ds106 images in a ds106 set, so I went into the set in flickr and copied the URL and pasted it into the flickrSlidr page. That generated the code, which I copied and pasted into the HTML window of the new page.

About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house. I liked that they were also words: Rapt, meaning enthralled, riveted, captivated, and Rent, meaning torn asunder, violently wrenched. I thought it made for an interesting juxtaposition, open to all kinds of interpretations.
